Hello all. I am going to my doctor on wednesday to ask about antiemetic drugs. I've got to a stage now that Im starting to see all the things I've missed, and although I'm doing alot more, there are somethings that I cant do without that bit of extra help. Forinstance I used to do alot of acting and really want to be on stage again. However it would make my life alot more pleasant if I could KNOW that I wont be sick and that I can do these things without worrying. So I'm going to put my case to the doctor and see what she says.


For those of you who take anti emetics what do you take? are the effective? and how often do you need to use them? are there any dreaded side effects!?


For the last 3 months I've been using travel bands (sea bands as thay are sometimes called) which have proved to be very useful. I carry them with me wherever I go and gerneally use them a few times a week. Its great because I dont need to worry about being sick in some situations where I would normally be on edge. I went to the theatre a few months ago and by wearing them my anxiety didnt flare up too much (I cant sit in crowds!) But I'm hoping that the medication may help in situations where I ned to travel a very long distance (like going on holiday) or if I'm in a play/musical. I'm also hoping that they will help me to eat more at times when I deliberatly dont eat much because I feel odd.


Do you think I have agood case? I hope so as these tablets will probably help me alot


Thanks for being here!
